Soldera Brunello Di Montalcino 1980

Description

Gianfranco Soldera is an icon of the Brunello & Italian wine world. He helped pioneer Brunello’s “new wave,” founding his Case Basse estate in 1972. By the early 1980’s his intensely concentrated, yet highly aromatic, Brunellos were already turning heads; yet, production of just a few hundred bottles kept the lid on his reputation until the stakes were raised with his 1990’s.

Today, of course, along with Diego Molinari’s Cerbaiona, his wines are widely regarded as Brunello’s Holy Grail. While other producers’ wines live and die by ratings — with wide swings in demand from vintage to vintage — Soldera’s small production sells out quickly each year.

Those extremely rare are for avid collectors, looking at completing their collection with one of the most iconic and more difficult to come by Estate in the world. This stock came from a private cellars in Italy, arriving in Malaysia in 2019.
